“…Mann–Whitney U test performed for the concentrations of the same chemical elements in the leaves of all the plant species collected in winter and spring showed that they are not significantly different. C. salviifolius leaves collected in spring showed As, Fe, Pb and Zn concentrations within the range of the same plant species collected by Abreu et al () in the same season in the mine areas of São Domingos and Caveira.…”

“…Kardanpour et al (2015) address heterogeneity of contaminated soils describing sampling as an essential step to have representative concentrations. Several examples of spontaneous and even new species of plants that grow on these degraded and contaminated soils/spoils are known (Batista et al, 2007;Mendez et al, 2007;Abreu et al, 2008Abreu et al, , 2012aAbreu et al, , 2012bReglero et al, 2008;Abreu & Magalhães, 2009;Santos et al, 2009). The plants that survive in such contaminated environments show, in general, no symptoms of toxicity.…”

Spontaneous and autochthonous species of plants growing on degraded and contaminated soils/spoils that survive in such environments show, in general, no symptoms of toxicity. This study compares concentrations of chemical elements in different leaves maturation and in different seasons of several native species in a massive sulphide in an abandoned mine area. The objective is to evaluate if these species can play an important role on the stabilization of degraded soils and mine spoils. Total concentrations of chemical elements were great in soils. However, in general, only <1% of the total concentration was extracted by DTPA or ammonium acetate solutions. Total and available fraction of the chemical elements has similar behaviour between soil sites. Mature leaves have higher concentrations of As, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn than younger ones. An opposite behaviour occurs with S. Winter and spring variations in most chemical elements concentrations in the plant leaves are not significantly different, except for As. Elemental concentrations of plant leaves are independent of the same elements concentrations (total and available fraction) in soils where plants have grown. The concentrations of As, Cu and Pb in plant leaves were below the level of risk to be ingested by grazing animals, although soils are above the reported thresholds. Therefore, all studied plant species can be considered for phytostabilization programmes, but the use of the land for pasture may not be a solution considering that animals ingest soil along with herbage.

“…However the Zn, Mn, Co and Cd contents in P. arundinacea roots exceeded the concentrations of these metals in bottom sediments and the bioaccumulation factors were estimated to exceed unity (Table 3) confirming high uptake efficiency of these metals from the environment in the species studied (Eid et al, 2012). Therefore reed canary grass may be considered root accumulator of these metals (Abreu et al, 2012) and may be useful in phytostabilization of metal contaminated sediments (Usman et al, 2012). In the present study, P. arundinacea was characterized by a higher factor of Cd and Co accumulation compared to Typha sp.…”

“…In addition, plants of the genera Cistus possess a double mycorrhizal status (Smith & Read, 1997). These plants show great plasticity and are able to grow in mine contaminated soils (Abreu, Santos, Magalhães, & Fernandes, 2012). Cistus species, such as Cistus albidus and Cistus salviifolius , are known for their ability to grow in stressful conditions (Comandini et al, 2006).…”

Heavy metal contamination is of particular concern for human health and the environment. Phytoremediation is an emerging cost‐effective strategy to remediate heavy metal contaminated soil. However, this technique is limited by the small number of plants that are tolerant to heavy metals and are also accumulators. This study assayed zinc, lead, and cadmium tolerance and accumulation in Cistus libanotis, Cistus albidus, and Cistus salviifolius. The plants were cultivated in hydroponic conditions and exposed to different concentrations of Pb(NO3)2 (100 and 200 µM), ZnSO4 (100 and 200 µM), or CdCl2 (10 and 20 µM) for 3 weeks. Plant biomass and metal accumulation in roots and aboveground parts varied greatly among the species. All three species appeared to be sensitive to Zn. However, C. albidus displayed strong tolerance to Pb and accumulated large quantities of Pb and Cd in its roots. C. libanotis accumulated large quantities of Pb and Cd in its aboveground parts. C. libanotis can thus be classified as a Pb and Cd accumulator species. The study results show that C. albidus is suitable for phytostabilization of Pb‐contaminated soils, while C. libanotis can be used for phytoextraction of both Pb and Cd.
